Watch the C8 Corvette Z06 go runway racing for the first time.
The Z06 in question is equipped with the racy Z07 package, which adds Magnetic Ride, carbon-ceramic brakes, additional aero bits, and ultra-sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires. The aerodynamics and road course-specific tires mean the car isn't as well-equipped to handle straight-line drags as a base Z06 would be, though going by this video, the car is no slouch.
The driver is able to squeeze a maximum of 155 mph in the standing half-mile during an event in Texas held by Shift S3ctor. He was also able to squeeze out a best 0-60 time of 3.45 seconds and a best quarter-mile of 11.44 seconds—not bad considering the tires never really got up to temperature. The Z07 package is designed to take on corners, meaning its extra drag and tires aren't exactly fit for straight-line performance. We're not complaining, seeing as we still get to hear that 5.5-liter naturally aspirated LT6 V-8 sing its song.
